In This Day in Economic History

The biggest court ordered verdict in civil court history was handed down on this day in 1985. The lawsuit stemmed from oil industry giant Pennzoil acquisition of Getty Oil for $5.3 billion. The deal was made but both parties did not sign the contract. Smelling opportunity, Texaco decided to offer twice what Pennzoil offered and Getty quickly signed on with Texaco. The action by Texaco quickly triggered the lawsuit by Pennzoil. Even without a signed document the court said there was a binding agreement between Pennzoil and Getty Oil. The court ordered Texaco to pay $10.53 billion to Pennzoil. This verdict was the largest civil verdict in court history.
